We live not to far away from the Imperial War Museum Duxford and I was lucky enough to be there when they were practising for a display the next day so there were a number of World War 2 planes being put through their paces.
This plane probably didn’t fly combatitively in the war. but it is a Spitfire, albeit, a two seater training version and it was great seeing and heraing it buzzing around the airfield.
